I enjoy reading through those because there's usually something hilariously funny one of my younger kids has said, and I appreciate the opportunity to remember them. What parent doesn't?
This particular memory was from Hagin, my now 7 year old son. Hagin loves the Lord, and tells us all the time that he is a "God boy". Interpreted, that means that he truly has a love for God and the things of God in his little heart. So precious.
A sweet friend sent a video of Santa Claus saying Hagin's name. I have never seen a child so excited to know that someone as important as Santa Claus knew his name. Hagin got so excited he started clapping his little hands and jumping up and down saying "He knows me. He knows who I am!!" My heart just jumped. It was such a precious moment.
But seriously, what's in a name? I know my first name, "Linda", means beautiful in spanish. That's what my dad used to tell me all the time when I was about Hagin's age.
I think names are very important. You do NOT want to name your new puppy, Yappie Doodle! Guess what he'll turn into? A yappie doodle! LOL
I think about the name of Jesus. Oh that precious, beautiful, powerful name!!! There is nothing like the name of Jesus!!
JESUS - He is my Advocate, Alpha & Omega, Ancient of Days, Author of Life, Bread of Life, Bright and Morning Star, Chief Cornerstone, Emmanuel, Good Shepherd, Great Physician, Head of the Church, High Priest, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Lamb of God, Light of the World, Lion of Judah, Living Water, Lord of Glory, Prince of Peace, Rock of Ages, Savior, The Way, The Truth, The Life, The Word, True Vine, Wonderful Counselor!!
He is this and so much more!
And the One who IS -the Great I AM - knows YOUR name! How marvelous and wonderful is that?!
The Creator of the universe, Almight God, the One who gave you life and the very breath in your body - HE knows YOUR name. Oh how HE loves you!! You're very valuable and dear. Your life is so precious to Him. You are not "invisible" to Him. He knows you! HE knows your name!! Get a revelation of the love God has for you, it will CHANGE your life!!!
This precious little boy was shown a video of Santa Claus. Santa actually said Hagin's name. After the video ended, this little boy who is filled with so much anticipation, and hope, and joy excitedly started jumping up and down squeeling that "he knows me! He knows my name!"
I immediately was in tears and then the thought came to me, gently whispered into my spirit, "How much more do I know your name?" I wanted to start jumping up and down in delight because He knows me! Jesus knows my name! He sees me! He loves me!

I can't imagine living life without Him. He's my Prince of Peace. He's been so good to me. Even in the dark times that life has brought. Jesus is Lord and He is MINE, and I am HIS. His banner over me is Love. Please - click the link to youtube and listen to this beautiful song!
